Protein kinase activity of purified components of the chicken oviduct progesterone receptor. 1983

T Garcia, and P Tuohimaa, and J Mester, and T Buchou, and J M Renoir, and E E Baulieu

Preparations of the 90K and 110K components of the chick oviduct progesterone receptor (PR) purified to near homogeneity were tested for protein kinase activity. The 90K component was shown to incorporate radioactive phosphate from [gamma-32P]-ATP in the presence of Ca2+ but not of Mg2+ ions, while the 110K component was phosphorylated in the presence of Mg2+, but not of Ca2+. The enzymatic activity of the 90K polypeptide appeared selective, since added proteins (histones) did not become phosphorylated. However, all proteins present in the 110K preparations were phosphorylated in the presence of Mg2+. These data suggest that components of the chick oviduct PR display protein kinase activity.

D010057 Oviducts Ducts that serve exclusively for the passage of eggs from the ovaries to the exterior of the body. In non-mammals, they are termed oviducts. In mammals, they are highly specialized and known as FALLOPIAN TUBES. Oviduct

D011494 Protein Kinases A family of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of ATP and a protein to ADP and a phosphoprotein. Protein Kinase,Kinase, Protein,Kinases, Protein
D011980 Receptors, Progesterone Specific proteins found in or on cells of progesterone target tissues that specifically combine with progesterone. The cytosol progesterone-receptor complex then associates with the nucleic acids to initiate protein synthesis. There are two kinds of progesterone receptors, A and B. Both are induced by estrogen and have short half-lives.
